InDesign 2021 crashing on macOS Big Sur while typing this (WST-111.U.771) text string

Hi there,

i am on macOS Big Sur (11.1), InDesign 16.1, Intel

 

I discovered a strange behaviour. On a data merge, InDesign crashed.

I broke it down to the following, reproducable behavior.

 

  • Open a new document
  • Create a text frame
  • Copy or tpye in the following text: WST-111.U.771

--> This leads to a crash every single time

 

Now has anyone an explanation for this?

 

Edit: The pattern seems like "AAA-111.U" that causes crashes.

Edit2: It does not seem to appear on Windows machines

 

Regards

Pat

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about this trouble. I am afraid, I tried but, could not replicate this behavior on my BigSur machine. Would you mind sharing a few more details?

  • Exact version of BigSur
  • Is your machine powered by M1
  • A small video of the workflow.

 

 

We're here to help, just need more info.

 

Regards,

Srishti

Point 1+2 are already mentioned in the original Post.

Point 3 is also mentioned just not in video Form. How useful is recording a crash...

I could provide system log though.

Sorry for the delay.

I just sent a crash report with the same email like in this account.

What i can tell you additionally is that if changing the system language to english (with rebooting) the issue does NOT occur. Only with german.

Habe das gleiche Problem schon im November 2020 an Adobe weitergegeben. Bei mir ist es die Textfolge ,Union'-W die zum Absturz von InDesign 2021 auf MacOS Big Sure führt.
